Anyone going to wigan this weekend?

[Dickovforengland!]

I am off up there with the guy I share my season ticket with. Am staying the night to go out on the lash so if anyone knows any decent watering holes up there or can point me to the best of the bad bunch. Let me know.

Ta.

I'll be there mate with me old chum Nottingham Fox. I fancy us for a sneaky win actually.

 

[Dickovforengland!]

If you fancy meeting for a few pre or post match bevvies drop me a PM.

 

[beaumontfox]

i'll be there-as always!!

 

[PFKAKTF FOX]

Me and dpjfox are going, its a "home game" for us who are exiled to the North West.

 

[highland fox]

Do Wigan have under soil heating?I only ask because there is some snow,frost etc forecast for that area on Friday night/Saturday.I would have thought they do with it being a newish Stadium.

Watering Holes:

Champions Bar is directly opposite the main entrance to the JJB Stadium. Also theres a pub called the Red Robin, just a few mins from the ground opposite the cinema complex. These both have no problems with away fans.

It's a rugby league town so don't worry about the fottball fans. They are used to seeing cheltenham play there.

It's the Pie Capital of the UK as well.

 

[Dickovforengland!]

Never been to the JJB but with regards to pies, if it aint Pukka I aint eating it. Steak and Kidney for me all the way, beef and onion or the more general 'meat' ain't worth risking. Hoggies used to be my favourite at Filbo but don't think they made the short trip to the Walkers.

[highland fox]

Oh yeah, I remember actually. Pie eating wooly backs is what the scousers called Wigan dwellers. I used to live in Liverpool too. Where in Liverpool did you live Highland Fox?
